Avoid running other cables or wires near the antenna cable(s).
On pressurized aircraft, the antenna(s) should be sealed using an approved sealant, such
as RTV No. 3145 (P/N 016-01082-0000) or equivalent, around the connector and
mounting hardware.

Mount the antenna(s) in as clean as environment as possible, away from exhaust gases
and oils. The antenna(s) should be kept clean. If left dirty (oil covered), the antenna
performance may be affected.

2.3.4 ANTENNA MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
2.3.4.1 VHF COM TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER ANTENNA
The VHF COM antenna should be mounted as far away as possible (8 feet, minimum)
from other similar antennas and the vertical stabilizer. Mounting the COM antenna as far
away as possible from the navigation antenna will help reduce COM to NAV interference.
The COM antenna should also be mounted as far away as possible from an ELT antenna
to prevent distortion of the radiated pattern and to prevent radiated broadband noise from
the ELT when excited by the COM transmissions. Radiated broadband noise from an ELT
is a common cause of COM-to-COM and COM-to-NAV interference. Mounting one
antenna on top of the fuselage at the highest location to ensure a good radiation pattern
and the other on the bottom of the fuselage offers good separation with a minimum of
interaction.
